Filed on 01/28/22 got accepted both state and federal immediately after. NO emails stating any errors, no mail, etc. Set up my fees to be deducted from my return as I thought it would be easier. Got a DDD from the IRS for 03/07/22. State went to the same account perfectly fine no issues. Called IRS to see where my refund was at it's been sent to my bank since 03/02/22 and it was past the 5 day wait. They said they have the wrong account number? Even though my 1040 I filed with SBTPG and TT are both the exact account number I gave the IRS rep. Someone in SBTPG is holding these refunds hostage. They took their cut of the fees and it says funded on my account on their website. I can not track my refund on their phone number because it says "unusual activity" even though no one informed me of this or emailed me. I can use my social to log into their website but I can't verify on their identity link they claim I have to do. Have sent several case emails just to have them closed or sent back the same preautomated message. Filed a complaint with the BBB and no surprise the business has not replied yet. They need to be held accountable and Turbo Tax needs to fix this issue! I paid them almost $200 to do my taxes correctly and I now am having to beg and go through hoops to get my money! After 8 years I will never use TT again. I'm informing everyone of this too!!

SBTPG holding my refund for zero reason!?
Absolutely will not be thumbing up any response. Turbo tax will never get my money after this year. I have filed for 8 years. Never any issues until this year. I have submitted several requests to your third party bank, can not talk to any human being whatsoever via email or phone call. This has been reported to the BBB. I hope others follow suit and you guys get a class action lawsuit for malicious practices. Every turbo tax representative I've dealt with can't contact SBTPG because of "security reasons" yet they have zero issue just sending our refunds to them. This should be ILLEGAL.

SBTPG holding my refund for zero reason!?
Ok you guys, I FINALLY got an amazing rep Andrew at SBTPG who said the bank print services were down until March 2nd. The checks were sent out that day. So it should take 7-10 business days. If you do not have a bank, you can not cash the checks at Walmart. You must go to a check cashing place so we still will have to pay extra for their bs just to get our money. I am glad I finally got someone with some sense who could tell me what was going on.

I went through the whole automated thing and then selected the option to hear funding activity. Then I stayed on hold for 2 hours and 40 minutes.

SBTPG holding my refund for zero reason!?
Will all that have been affected by this be recieving emails or do we have to reach out individually? I’ve read another forum that says that we do not have to do anything on our part but considering this was ALL done without any knowledge to any of your customers about the 3rd party; I don’t really trust that information.
so to clarify; we should be recieving an email stating when to expect the rest of our returns? Mine hit yesterday. I was supposed to get back $1600 after fees & only got $188. This is beyond ridiculous & the year people need their money the most!! This will be the last year I file with you guys.

SBTPG holding my refund for zero reason!?
Filed 2/28/22, said I’d get my return 3/16. Said it was sent, funded on their site, just to find out BY MYSELF that my account number was entered incorrectly.. they did that cause I checked my account number too many times to make sure it was entered correctly. So I called anywhere I could.. IRS, TURBO TAX, MY BANK. Nothing. Said that my account number was wrong and that they haven’t been updated with anything else since they rejected it??? If there was something wrong with my account why am I not getting any emails, mail, notifications from turbo tax, IRS???? I have NO emails saying there would be a delay. My tax transcripts are still the same as If I received them. Like I’m out here doing all the work. I’m so angry that I have to pay taxes but y’all want to hold on to mine. I have kids, household, and my own business that I have to handle and I’ve been counting on this. Everything is still saying sent, irs says everything has been sent / received. SBTGB says they sent out my taxes via paper check today… got the same automated information yesterday that it was sent out. I need my taxes and I’ll never be using turbo tax again. Sbtgb? NEVER AGAIN. You all are fraudulent and take everyone’s money. I’ve seen so many accounts saying their bank info was changed without their control and they have to wait. If I could, I’d rather cancel my order all together and go elsewhere. Y’all suck.

SBTPG holding my refund for zero reason!?
This is all very shady. I’m lucky I was OVER FEE charged by $39 +9.91, yes 9. 9-1.
After paying $138 in TT fees a processing fee for an electronic transfer from a third party?? Ridiculous! After Using TT for over 10 years, not sure I will again.

Going forward, you can avoid all this (and save the extra charge) by paying your TT fees upfront with a credit or debit card. That way, your refund goes directly from the IRS to you.
Or, better yet, change your withholding so that you get more money during the year. Why give the government an interest free loan all year?
